I totally agree....I am so against this type of destruction....we wont have any history left if they keep paving over it....all for the mighty dollar.....Anytime they decide to do this ,they should call all the Th'ers in first and let us have at it...before they totally destroy it....but its really not that either...there is so much history in the ground ...Kinda hard for me to take my children to a place and say "Your gggrandfather fought a terrible battle here and this is where he died"....and we are standing in a casino....They just wont get the true picture....Its like when they tear down all the beautiful old stone buildings with the elaborate architecture to make way for metal and shiny new buildings ......Sad
